Character's Physical Description:
Kiri has short blond hair with sapphire-like eyes. He has sharp facial features and a pale complexion. He is of average height, around 5’10”, though he is almost underweight for his height and age. He wears three layers of clothing, the innermost being a regular button-up dress-shirt, over which a sleeveless cardigan is worn, and then finally an open stripped dark blue coat. Far from the typical shinobi garment, additionally, he wears a pair of grey trousers and black shoes. A ragged cape is always covering him as he seems to have some strange aversion to direct sunlight. A large red-laced necklace is often found dangling from his neck, and his chosen weapon, an uchigatana-length of a katana, is carefully placed in its scabbard and tied to his left side.
Character's Mental Description: One would think that his ordeal with the Cursed Beast of Ruin had scarred Kiri, but that is only the normal presumption. Due to the nature of the beast, formed from the soul of an ancestor (his older brother to be precise), Kiri was able to retain his sanity despite the rage and torment that is naturally bound to the Cursed Beast of Ruin. Partly, this is because of learning of the beast's true identity and acceptance. Having been isolated for years, this beast became his sole companion and in a way comfort. That said, he is very trusting to the decisions of the beast, though despite the accursed nature, any means of violence and aggression is curbed by the pride and honor of the original soul of the beast. Nevertheless, such violence is present when forced to engage in battle. As such, to aid in his own attempts to keep silent and peaceful as much as possible, Kiri tends to avoid conflict and decided to pursue the arts of healing. In other aspects, he can be very meek and naive due to the fact that he had been isolated for many years, and his short journey with caravans he met could only teach him a few things about survival, but not everything one should at least know for his age. Despite that, he is quite the eager and determined guy, since he believes that he should deal with his life in his own way. As such, surprisingly, he harbours no hatred for his former family (for now, he only thinks of the beast as the only family he has), which may also mean he could be a bit skeptical about others. Nonetheless, because of his own desire not to let others feel the suffering of dying (an experience he learned and shared with the beast’s memories of his death as a human being), he is more inclined towards healing than killing. Still, that does not erase the fact that he has a demon inside of him and that he is ruthless when forced upon.

Character History:
Born into one of the branch families of the Hasegawa Clan, Kiri had to adhere to the strict rules of the family. He did not possess a Cursed Beast of Creation as a child and so he was considered among the few of lower importance, with the family still believing that one day he would awaken to his fated Cursed Beast. However, when that fated day did arrive, everyone was aghast that the beast he contained was the Cursed Beast of Ruin alone. Fearing for the worst, and knowing that it could lead to his death, his mother tried to hide the truth and for many years, it worked. One day, however, his father would reveal the truth in order to preserve their family's honor, thus, Kiri was placed in an isolated house, seemingly imprisoned as the Main Family would debate on his fate. While in the past, those born without the Cursed Beast of Creation were treated harshly and even put to death, Kiri was fortunate to remain alive because of his young age, though isolated from the rest of the clan.
Without proper tutelage on how to restrain the Cursed Beast of Ruin's influence, there were many instances that he lost control. Trapped in his soulscape, Kiri would confront the Beast that forms itself in the shape of a large wolf covered in mist and plated with armor. In its terrifying form, often accompanied by the wailings of grief, rage and desire for vengeance or simply destruction, it was inevitable for the young Kiri to succumb and lose his sanity. Many times would he lash out like a wild animal to those that deliver his food. But something changed.
Like all cursed beasts, whether of creation or ruin, they are formed from the souls of ancestors of the Hasegawa lineage. Their true identity is mostly unknown until both the host and the beast would finally come to an understanding. This is why it is favourable to have both beasts as to create peace within the Hasegawa. In Kiri’s case, however, without the absence of the Cursed Beast of Creation, no one had any hope of his well-being nor would they believe that one day he would attain such a peace. Which ended up making him all the more dangerous as they could only see a nefarious aura about him, even when he was externally calm.
The reason for this strange acceptance was because the beast had devoured him in his soulscape, and there he learned of the beast’s true identity, as well as releasing the curse on the said beast that allowed for it to regain its own past memories. Here, he learned of the man who was born before him, yet died a horrible death on the hands of his father on the very day that Kiri was born. This was a man who, along with the others who were cast aside for their incompleteness of having only the Beast of Ruin, had been sentenced to death, and so it would only be right that he would be reincarnated into the same beast that changed his fate. But this man was far closer to him than first appeared, for what was reflected on Kiri’s eyes was no longer the shape of the wolf of vengeance, but that of a man who looked a lot like him, albeit older.
One day, his father visited him, trying to plead with him to speak after the many days of silence and not touching his food. The clan was of the mind that he was no longer human at this stage and mercy would only come through execution. It was a strangely familiar recourse.
“Father, you never spoke of my brother, did you?” said Kiri, which surprised the old man who sat safely behind the bars of the isolated house.
“You have no such brother. You are my only heir.”
“No, I don’t think so. My beast said he was born before me,” he continued as he observed the old man’s face grow pale, “But died on the day I was born. He was saved because his soul found sanctuary in mine. However, we both recall the pain of the blade that cut through our neck, the tears that swelled up our eyes, and the last glance upon our father who struck us down without remorse.”
“That can’t be!”
“Will you be the one the clan sends to kill me again?”
It was an ominous conversation but Kiri never spoke another word to his father again, no matter how much the other pleaded, denied at first and then finally relented to the truth. Inside him, he was angry, sad, and he felt like the world was against him. There was only him and his beast of a brother that lived inside, and his soulscape was the only place he could be free.
When he finally reached of age, old enough to be treated an adult, the clan had to finally decide his fate. He, too, found chaos inside his heart, and he could only want to break free. But as the day of his execution drew near, he found that his desperation weakened. Strangely enough, his brother’s words, the comforting presence of the beast, was soothing at the face of death. Then, he finally surrendered himself, ready to be killed.
It was just luck, and perhaps his own fate, when his father managed to plead his case. He did not want to kill son again, and no one in the clan could find any reason to execute Kiri as the days leading to it showed nothing of the sort of disastrous curse of the beast of ruin. Thus, they stripped him of his name, his claim to the clan, branded him an outcast, carving a sign across the pale of his back– one that would show his unfortunate stance– and then threw him out from the safety of their home.
Abandoned in the wilderness, blinded at first, only to be able to see after the effects of the jutsu washed away, Kiri would find himself alone. With no knowledge of the outside world, nor things to help for his survival, he was pretty much sentenced to death in a natural way. However, the beast of ruin would guide him, and he would struggle to survive in this strange world beyond his clan.
Meeting people, fighting with people, being taught in his soulscape, Kiri would manage to find himself in a different country, accompanying one of the many caravans he would temporarily join. And in this new country, past the marshes, he would find himself in a large port. He did not know what to do until one of the drunk caravan members suggested he stay and try to conquer the country. Of course, drunks were silly, but another spoke that this country was as strong as the others, and that here, people were tested for their skill and not their identity. It sounded too good to be true, but Kiri was getting tired of moving and moving without a destination, so he was at a bind.
One night, as he joined the men to tavern, he would hear more tales about this country’s heritage, its power, its legacy, and he couldn’t help but dream what it would feel like to leave amongst the clouds. And only then did he decide that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to try and figure it out.
“I never caught your name, boy,” said the caravan master as he gave Kiri some extra money for his journey.
“Hase-… uh… Kiri. Just Kiri,” he would answer before finally leaving for that so-called village amongst the clouds.

Jutsu Mastery Swaps: List all of your current jutsu with mastery ranks, along with whether you are keeping them or not. Please list the ones you are having refunded separately from the ones you are keeping, and separated by OOC rank (E, D, C, B, A). This will make it easier for council to calculate the ASP and yen you are to be refunded. All refunds during OCR are 100% sellback.
After that, you may list the jutsu you are picking up, and if you want to spend some of your (refunded or existing) ASP to rank them up. These follow normal jutsu ranking costs as listed in the Training Rules.
Please note that you need to have the requirements of any jutsu you are swapping to, including Advanced Element jutsu.

During OCR only, this ASP contributes to the total that could be spent to make up for stat loss.
Swaps can ONLY be done during OCR unless you purchase the Jutsu Swap card from the ASP shop.
Other Refunds: Includes things like augments, storage items, puppet add-ons, and anything else you have to spend yen on.

Still actively roleplaying in any other threads? No
You can still train (see: explanation of Limbo Training below) and do other OOC things, but you may NOT join any new threads. After you have completed these thread(s), post in OCR again and we will move you on to your next life.
What is Limbo Training?
This is the training that you would have gotten if you did not move on to your new character's life. Your caps are determined by your rebirthed stats. You must keep a record of your stats gained during limbo in your OCR thread. You may NOT request for an automatic rank up should you find that your new stats allow you to upgrade.
Things you do NOT need to state, but take note of:
- Abilities = All of your Abilities are auto-untrained upon rebirth. In order to have any Abilities for your new character, you must activate them by posting in your character’s Dojo topic in your new village.
- Character History = By suiciding/rebirthing, you're making a new character. This means your new character must not know or remember anything of your old character's life/thoughts/feelings. If your new character has ANY direct/indirect connection to your old character, you MUST state that in your new character history write up for Admin & Village approvals. All Medical or ANBU related experience should be reflected in your history along with CA or BL influence.
- Editing Your New Character Application = Do not edit a post you have made in your OCR. You must copy all of your information from your last post and add the changes to the new post. This is for papertrail reasons.
Things that do NOT transfer with your next character:
Please take notice of which ASP shop items that you have bought transfer with your character, and which do not.
Ninpocho Chronicles
Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.
Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.
Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.
The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.
This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

“I never caught your name, boy,” said the caravan master as he gave Kiri some extra money for his journey.
“Hase-… uh… Kiri. Just Kiri,” he would answer before finally leaving for that so-called village amongst the clouds.
Life in Kumogakure wasn’t as easy as Kiri thought. Then again, he hadn’t lived life normally to even have a good grasp of what was normal, and his nomadic experience with the caravan was also quite different. Here, in the village amongst the clouds, the community was quite alive and large that he first felt a bit suffocated. He had to adjust with the way the people moved about, the way they talked, the way they lived. All in all, he had to try and blend in like everybody else, which did not go so well when he almost always ended up with fights as his demonic tendency (that is, the influence of the cursed beast within him), no matter how close he was to his brother by now, would inevitably make such aggressive behaviour rather appealing. Fortunately, it helped him in his journey as he joined the academy. Their, even if his contemporaries were younger than he was, they had the skill and technique, as well as family backing to help them. All he had was himself and the cursed beast, and it was enough to pull through.
Still, despite the challenges he had faced, and there are likely more to come as he could already feel that he would need to improve in so many areas even after leaving the academy, he thought it was a form of freedom. This was a path he chose, and he was willing and welcoming to take in all that would face him, may they be success or failure. Only then would he grow.
Growing stronger would entail that he would be able to fight for the freedom he desired, but he was also very much aware of the danger it possessed. As much as he was more expected to be a frontliner in the battlefield, he found it more soothing to follow the line of those med-nins he’d seen in the village. He always thought it was a way for him to show that there could be good things that come from being born with just one cursed beast, that of ruin, and at the same time, he found the profession quite dignified. Though merciless during battles, he was still quite taken about the idea of being able to save others.
Still, one may say that Kiri still has ways to go to truly know what he desires to be, or that he is still quite naive of the realities of the world, but his journey has only begun.

Thus, they stripped him of his name, his claim to the clan, branded him an outcast, carving a sign across the pale of his back– one that would show his unfortunate stance– and then threw him out from the safety of their home.
Abandoned in the wilderness, blinded at first, only to be able to see after the effects of the jutsu washed away, Kiri would find himself alone. With no knowledge of the outside world, nor things to help for his survival, he was pretty much sentenced to death in a natural way. However, the beast of ruin would guide him, and he would struggle to survive in this strange world beyond his clan.
Meeting people, fighting with people, being taught in his soulscape, Kiri would manage to find himself in a different country, accompanying one of the many caravans he would temporarily join. And in this new country, past the marshes, he would find himself in a large port. He did not know what to do until one of the drunk caravan members suggested he stay and try to conquer the country. Of course, drunks were silly, but another spoke that this country was as strong as the others, and that here, people were tested for their skill and not their identity. It sounded too good to be true, but Kiri was getting tired of moving and moving without a destination, so he was at a bind.
One night, as he joined the men to tavern, he would hear more tales about this country’s heritage, its power, its legacy, and he couldn’t help but dream what it would feel like to leave amongst the clouds. And only then did he decide that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to try and figure it out.
“I never caught your name, boy,” said the caravan master as he gave Kiri some extra money for his journey.
“Hase-… uh… Kiri. Just Kiri,” he would answer before finally leaving for that so-called village amongst the clouds.
Life in Kumogakure wasn’t as easy as Kiri thought. Then again, he hadn’t lived life normally to even have a good grasp of what was normal, and his nomadic experience with the caravan was also quite different. Here, in the village amongst the clouds, the community was quite alive and large that he first felt a bit suffocated. He had to adjust with the way the people moved about, the way they talked, the way they lived. All in all, he had to try and blend in like everybody else, which did not go so well when he almost always ended up with fights as his demonic tendency (that is, the influence of the cursed beast within him), no matter how close he was to his brother by now, would inevitably make such aggressive behaviour rather appealing. Fortunately, it helped him in his journey as he joined the academy. Their, even if his contemporaries were younger than he was, they had the skill and technique, as well as family backing to help them. All he had was himself and the cursed beast, and it was enough to pull through.
Still, despite the challenges he had faced, and there are likely more to come as he could already feel that he would need to improve in so many areas even after leaving the academy, he thought it was a form of freedom. This was a path he chose, and he was willing and welcoming to take in all that would face him, may they be success or failure. Only then would he grow.
Growing stronger would entail that he would be able to fight for the freedom he desired, but he was also very much aware of the danger it possessed. As much as he was more expected to be a frontliner in the battlefield, he found it more soothing to follow the line of those med-nins he’d seen in the village. He always thought it was a way for him to show that there could be good things that come from being born with just one cursed beast, that of ruin, and at the same time, he found the profession quite dignified. Though merciless during battles, he was still quite taken about the idea of being able to save others.
Still, one may say that Kiri still has ways to go to truly know what he desires to be, or that he is still quite naive of the realities of the world, but his journey has only begun.
